Number One and Nami were enjoying their ti together but there was one person who wasn't happy about that. Miss Black might have looked like she accepted her little sister's decision but she didn't change her mind.
Miss Black still believed Nami was in the wrong to waste so much ti but she couldn't risk Nami's hatred by breaking them apart. She could only let Nami experience life until she learns the hard truth.
"Maybe it is for the better…" Miss Black muttered as she gazed at the city from the distant mountain top and pulled out her communication device. Just because she let Nami stay behind didn't an she would leave her completely unsupervised.
"Hello? Is this really my baby calling?" A sweet voice ca from the other end after the call connected. "I'm sure you have a good reason to contact after being away for such a long ti."
Miss Black rubbed her forehead with a tired sigh. "Auntie, it has only been a year so don't exaggerate. I was busy with my matters in the Inner World."
"Sure, sure, it's always the sa excuse. You never have the ti for the family and only call when you want sothing," Auntie called out sarcastically. "Go on, tell what is it this ti. Auntie will help even if my baby doesn't care about ."
"It's not about but Nami this ti. She found a partner in the Selection Academy and she refuses to leave. She claims that she wants to be with him long-term and grow together," Miss Black explained but received an answer she didn't want to hear.
"And what do you want to do about that? I'm happy for her. She has finally found a compatible partner and I'm sure she is enjoying herself plenty," Auntie replied cheerfully. "You can't really force her to follow the sa path as you and your step-sister. Don't tell you are trying to force Nami against her will? She has never experienced a heartbreak so she will only resent you afterward."
"..."
Miss Black remained silent which caused her Auntie to curse. "Damn, what on god did you do? Don't tell you tried to break them apart by killing her partner?"
"..."
Miss Black and Nami's mother died early so Auntie was like a mother to them. Miss Black was already independent but she still didn't want to disappoint the person who raised and took care of them.
"So many years on this world and you still didn't learn how to behave properly," Auntie lanted with a deep sigh. "Don't you dare to touch him again. Let Nami experience life on her own. You are lucky you didn't kill him or else she would hate you forever."
"Actually…" Miss Black finally spoke with a confused expression. "I did kill him. I stabbed multiple swords through his body and even pierced his heart. I made sure he was no longer breathing before I left but that bastard still survived. Not only did he live but he even began his training in the hardest Soul Training Room right after as if nothing happened."
"It's good that he survived but how? Do you suspect he had so supre healing pills on hand?" Auntie questioned with interest.
"Ugh... A pill that would bring him back from the dead? There is no pill with such powers. I literally cut his heart open and ripped his organs apart yet he was still fine," Miss Black comnted with an annoyed grunt. "I had to investigate afterward to find out the truth but I discovered that he has a Master from the Inner World. His Soul Art is capable of lting a training puppet by shooting a beam of light from his fingers. Have you ever heard of it?"
"No, that's the first ti for too but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just because we never heard of it doesn't an it doesn't exist. His feats show that his Master is much more powerful than you think and blessed him with many treasures. I believe he is suitable to be Nami's partner and I fully support them," Auntie acknowledged. "Don't be salty that she found a gold mine while you only fell for so losers."
That shot from Auntie stung deeply in Miss Black's heart but she only clenched her fists and replied coldly, "I am not salty. I just don't want her to make the sa mistake."
"Okay, okay, so what do you want to do?" Auntie asked to change the topic. "You wouldn't call if you could resolve it on your own so it must want sothing from ."
Miss Black paused to calm down and finally requested, "Is step-sis still active in the Dragon Academy? I hope she can supervise and check Nami's progress when she reaches the main branch of the Winged Soul Academy in about a month's ti."
"I don't think that will be a problem but my daughter is not in the best mood right now. Her partner cheated on her not too long ago so she killed them both. I'm sure she beats up any man on her path right now."
Miss Black brightened at those words and pursed her lips. "Perfect. Pass my ssage to her. I would do it myself but Nami doesn't want to see right now."
"What will you do then? Are you going to visit the family?" Auntie suggested casually but Miss Black had different plans.
"Maybe later," Miss Black replied as black Soul Wings burst out from her back. "I am looking for the rare Thunder Root that I can only find in the Outer World. I want to craft a Black Thunder pill to break through my bottleneck. I will contact you once I find it."
Miss Black didn't wait for a reply and ended the call while launching to the sky with a smirk on her face. If it was her stepsister taking over, she didn't need to worry about leaving Nami alone.
